ABSTRACT:
Antibodies directed to human protein mismatch repair proteins can be used diagnostically to discriminate between proliferating and non-proliferating cells. In addition, they can be used to determine whether cells have a mismatch repair defect caused by a mutation in e.g., hMSH2, hMLH1, or hPMS2. They can also be used to monitor the efficacy of anti-neoplastic therapies.
